HI, yes it is normal to bleed a little after an internal exam, you are fine as long as it stops. I do not know about the back and abdomen pain though, I do not think an internal exam would cause pain, but you are 40 weeks so perhaps it just helped you get moving a bit. Is this you first pregnancy. If it is not you can go from 2cm to 5cm in a very short time so It may not be lang for you. Good luck
